Dan Patrick, the newly-minted Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, is just as out of touch. This guy has vowed to obstruct equal pay legislation and authored the bill requiring doctors to perform medically-unnecessary transvaginal ultrasounds for women to get an abortion (so much for limited government). For his efforts, he was named a 2013 worst legislator by Texas Monthly.

Republican comptroller nominee Glenn Hager and agriculture commissioner nominee Sid Miller are so against abortion, they made it a central theme while campaigning for offices charged with managing finances and protecting crops.
